Whether you tackle several volcanoes on a single trip or take them on one by one, these four volcanoes in Central America are ready for adventurers to explore. The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador The Santa Ana Volcano, also known as Ilamatepec, is the highest volcano in El Salvador. Standing at 7812ft above sea level, it’s the third-highest point in the country. Santa Ana’s crater is one of the largest in the world. Guided tours are mandatory for a popular four-hour hike to the summit that offers stunning views of Lake Coatepeque and the Pacific Ocean. Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica Situated in a 54 sq mile national park, the expansive Volcán Rincón de la Vieja, which translates to “old lady’s nook”, is an hour and a half from the town of Liberia. Eruptions in 2021 have closed off hikes to the 6217ft summit. There are shorter hiking loops around the park and to other peaks in the region, such as Volcán Santa Maria, which measures 6286ft. Barú Volcano in Panama Located in the Chiriqui Highlands, the dormant (休眠的) volcano and its seven craters are a birdwatching paradise. About 250 species of birds call Parque Nacional Volcán Barú home, including the elusive quetzal. The hike takes 10 to 12 hours. A popular option for experienced hikers is to start a guided ascent at night so that you arrive at dawn and enjoy stunning views at sunrise. The dry season(February to April)is the best time to go. Cerro Negro in Nicaragua Just 160 years old, Cerro Negro is the youngest volcano in Central America. Reaching heights of 2388ft, the Nicaraguan volcano located just outside of Leon is one of the most active in the region. But that hasn’t stopped a growing subset of people from hopping on specially designed boards and speeding down the black gravel slopes. Volcano surfing(or volcano surfing)is exactly what it sounds like, trading out the water for rocks and ocean spray for plumes of ash. It’s a perfect combination of pure joy and what most parents would call complete stupidity. Several agencies in the area offer tours to hike and surf the volcano. 1. Which activity is unique in Barú Volcano? A. Surfing. B. Birdwatching. C. Hiking. D. Swimming. 2. Which place is recommended for racing down slopes? A. Barú Volcano in Panama B. Cerro Negro in Nicaragua C. The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador D. Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica 3. What do the four volcanoes in Central America have in common? A. They offer the stunning sunset. B. They are situated in national parks. C. They are suitable for hikers. D. They are full of pure joy. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中美洲火山弧四座各具特色的火山，分别介绍了它们的地理位置、海拔、特色活动及游览注意事项等，展现了这些火山成为火山爱好者探险胜地的原因。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Barú Volcano in Panama部分中的“Located in the Chiriqui Highlands, the dormant volcano and its seven craters are a birdwatching paradise.(这座休眠火山位于奇里基高地，其七个火山口是观鸟的天堂)”可知，巴鲁火山的独特活动是观鸟。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cerro Negro in Nicaragua部分中的“But that hasn’t stopped a growing subset of people from hopping on specially designed boards and speeding down the black gravel slopes. Volcano surfing is exactly what it sounds like, trading out the water for rocks and ocean spray for plumes of ash. It’s a perfect combination of pure joy and what most parents would call complete stupidity.(但这丝毫挡不住越来越多的人踏上特制滑板，从漆黑的砾石山坡上疾驰而下。火山冲浪，顾名思义，就是把海水换成嶙峋岩石，把海浪的水花换成火山的灰烬烟尘。这种体验，是纯粹的快乐，与在大多数父母眼中彻头彻尾的莽撞，完美交织在一起)”可知，尼加拉瓜的塞罗内格罗火山有火山冲浪的特色活动，是适合沿山坡疾驰而下体验火山冲浪的地点。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador部分中的“Guided tours are mandatory for a popular four-hour hike to the summit that offers stunning views of Lake Coatepeque and the Pacific Ocean.(前往山顶的热门四小时徒步路线必须有向导陪同，沿途能欣赏到科特佩克湖和太平洋的绝美风光)”、Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica部分中的“There are shorter hiking loops around the park and to other peaks in the region, such as Volcán Santa Maria, which measures 6286ft.(公园周边及前往该区域其他山峰的路段设有短途徒步环线，比如海拔6286英尺的圣玛丽亚火山)”、Barú Volcano in Panama部分中的“The hike takes 10 to 12 hours. A popular option for experienced hikers is to start a guided ascent at night so that you arrive at dawn and enjoy stunning views at sunrise.(这段徒步行程耗时10至12小时，对于经验丰富的徒步者来说，一个热门选择是在夜间开启有向导陪同的攀登，以便在黎明时分抵达，欣赏日出的绝美景色)”以及Cerro Negro in Nicaragua部分中的“Several agencies in the area offer tours to hike and surf the volcano.(该地区有多家机构提供徒步并冲浪这座火山的游览项目)”可知，四座火山均明确提及有对应的徒步路线、徒步项目或徒步游览方式，因此四座火山的共同特征是均适合徒步旅行者前往体验。故选C。 B In the flood of innovative solutions that have emerged in the last several years to save the world from plastic pollution, Tom Szaky’s solution may be one of the most audacious (大胆的). Szaky has presented a concept that dates to the turn of the last century-returnable, refillable containers. The idea was introduced to the world by Coca-Cola in the early 1920s, when coke was sold in expensive glass bottles that the company needed to be returned. They charged a two-cent deposit (押金), roughly 40 percent of the full cost of the soft drink, and got about 98 percent of their bottles back to be reused 40 to 50 times. Bottle deposit programs remain one of the most successful methods ever invented for recovering packaging. Szaky launched Loop, an online delivery service that uses serviceable, reusable containers. The bold part of his venture-or risk, if you are one of his financial backers-is that Loop pushes far beyond the common returnable beverage bottles and sells more than 300 items, from food to laundry liquid, in containers of various sizes and made from various materials. His signature product is Häagen- Dazs ice cream that is packed inside a smooth, heat-barrier stainless steel bucket guaranteed to prevent its contents from melting. Slightly messy in jeans and a coat, Szaky looks every bit the common entrepreneur. He dropped out of Princeton University 17 years ago to become an innovator in the garbage business. Then, he founded TerraCycle, a company near his college. He figured out a way to recycle cigarette ends, and a long list of other non-recyclable things. Then, he became more interested in restoring the circularity of that earlier era and eliminating the disposability from packaging altogether. Loop is part of the recovery of refillable things as a serious option for plastic waste. The beverage industry is expanding its use of returnable bottles; an Oregon brewery claims to have started the United States’ first state-wide refillable beer system. More significantly, efforts like Loop’s to reinvent packaging for products that don’t fit easily into the refillable category have attracted startups and some of the world’s largest corporate players. 4. How is the Coca-Cola’s bottle deposit program? A. It’s costly. B. It’s effective. C. It is a complex process. D. It remains questionable to many people. 5. What can we know about Loop launched by Szaky? A. It struggles to get financial support. B. It covers a wider range of businesses. C. It mainly gains profits from Häagen-Dazs ice cream. D. It was the first to propose using steel containers to store beverages. 6. Which of the following can best describe Szaky? A. Creative and ambitious. B. Self-disciplined and outgoing. C. Hardworking and careful. D. Responsible and kind-hearted. 7. What’s the purpose of Szaky’s founding TerraCycle ? A. To make good use of the waste. B. To cover his college fees. C. To cooperate with more corporate players. D. To expand his influence in his college. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Tom Szaky提出在线快递服务Loop，使用可维修、可重复使用的容器。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Bottle deposit programs remain one of the most successful methods ever invented for recovering packaging.(瓶子押金程序仍然是有史以来最成功的方法之一，用于回收包装发明)”可知，可口可乐的瓶子押金计划很有效。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Szaky launched Loop, an online delivery service that uses serviceable, reusable containers. The bold part of his venture-or risk, if you are one of his financial backers-is that Loop pushes far beyond the common returnable beverage bottles and sells more than 300 items, from food to laundry liquid, in containers of various sizes and made from various materials. His signature product is Häagen- Dazs ice cream that is packed inside a smooth, heat-barrier stainless steel bucket guaranteed to prevent its contents from melting.(Szaky推出了在线快递服务Loop，使用可维修、可重复使用的容器。他的冒险之处——或者说是冒险之处，如果你是他的资金支持者之一的话——是Loop远远超越了普通的可回收饮料瓶，销售300多种产品，从食品到洗衣液，用不同大小、不同材料制成的容器。他的招牌产品是Häagen——Dazs冰淇淋，它被包装在一个光滑的隔热不锈钢桶里，保证里面的东西不会融化)”可知，Szaky推出的Loop涵盖了更广泛的业务。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the flood of innovative solutions that have emerged in the last several years to save the world from plastic pollution, Tom Szaky’s solution may be one of the most audacious (大胆的).(在过去的几年里，为了拯救世界免受塑料污染，出现了大量的创新解决方案，汤姆·萨基的解决方案可能是最大胆的一个)”以及第二段“The bold part of his venture-or risk, if you are one of his financial backers-is that Loop pushes far beyond the common returnable beverage bottles and sells more than 300 items, from food to laundry liquid, in containers of various sizes and made from various materials. His signature product is Häagen- Dazs ice cream that is packed inside a smooth, heat-barrier stainless steel bucket guaranteed to prevent its contents from melting.(他的冒险之处——或者说是冒险之处，如果你是他的资金支持者之一的话——是Loop远远超越了普通的可回收饮料瓶，销售300多种产品，从食品到洗衣液，用不同大小、不同材料制成的容器。他的招牌产品是Häagen——Dazs冰淇淋，它被包装在一个光滑的隔热不锈钢桶里，保证里面的东西不会融化)”可知，Szaky有创造力和野心。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the flood of innovative solutions that have emerged in the last several years to save the world from plastic pollution, Tom Szaky’s solution may be one of the most audacious (大胆的).(在过去的几年里，为了拯救世界免受塑料污染，出现了大量的创新解决方案，汤姆·萨基的解决方案可能是最大胆的一个)”可知，Szaky创立TerraCycle的目的是充分利用废物。故选A。 C Teachers are one of the professions least at risk of being automated. A job that requires emotional intelligence and flexibility — in adapting lesson plans on the fly to a particular group of children, for example — is not one particularly well-suited to robots. Artificial intelligence (AI), however, still deserves a role in the classroom. This is not as a replacement for teachers, but as a tool or an assistant that can aid them both in trying to close the gap in achievement between the rich and the poor and in making up for lost teaching time, for instance. The principle of machine learning is to enhance humans’ existing capacities. The best AI apps promise to improve teachers’ knowledge of what their students need, how best they deliver the teaching, and which students require the most help — from a human teacher — to keep up with their learning. Besides, poor and unequal schooling, leaving too many children behind, is one of the deepest roots of inequality and low productivity. If AI can help target existing teaching resources better, the benefits could be incalculable. Therefore, smart policy is urgent. There must be a focus on the teaching philosophy behind the programs, as well as ensuring that any decisions made by machine learning are under human control. In education, choices made by AI could set a direction for the rest of a child’s life. These may be common concerns about AI, but education is particularly sensitive — especially the ownership and control of any data generated through the platforms. Schools, too, will need to prevent teachers, who already have plenty of responsibilities, from also having to keep up to date with thousands of apps. AI belongs in the classroom only so long as it enhances the humankind. 8. What role should AI play in the classroom? A. An assistant to help teachers. B. An aid to punish students. C. A machine to replace teachers. D. A tool to protect students. 9. Which is the benefit of using AI apps in teaching? A. It tells which teacher needs the most help. B. It instructs teachers how to deliver speeches. C. It provides ways for teachers to make money. D. It helps balance the existing teaching resources. 10. What matters most in AI teaching? A. Improving the humankind. B. Setting a direction for education. C. Preventing teachers from using apps. D. Producing data through online platforms. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Popularity of E-Teaching Apps B. The Application and Flexibility of AI C. Rules for Bringing AI into the Classroom D. Approaches to Enhancing Teaching Online 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讲述人工智能虽不能代替老师，但也要应用在课堂上。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This is not as a replacement for teachers, but as a tool or an assistant that can aid them both in trying to close the gap in achievement between the rich and the poor and in making up for lost teaching time, for instance.”(这不是作为教师的替代品，而是作为一种工具或助手，可以帮助他们缩小贫富差距，弥补失去的教学时间。)可知，人工智能是作为一种教师的工具或助手而存在于课堂上的。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“If AI can help target existing teaching resources better, the benefits could be incalculable.”(如果人工智能能够更好地利用现有的教学资源，其好处可能是无法估量的。)可知，更好地利用现有的教学资源会是课堂上利用人工智能的好处。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“AI belongs in the classroom only so long as it enhances the humankind.”(人工智能只有在提高人类素质的前提下，才能进入课堂。)可知，人工智能课堂最重要的是要提高人类素质。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Artificial intelligence (AI), however, still deserves a role in the classroom.”(然而，人工智能（AI）仍然值得在课堂上发挥作用。)可知，这篇文章主要讲述要把人工智能带入课堂。故选C。 D In health research, determining true causes — like whether drinking wine affects health — is vital for informed decisions. But “correlation does not equal causation (因果关系)” is widely recognized. Then how do researchers move beyond correlations to find answers? Correlations often exist without implying causation. For instance, chocolate consumption correlates with the number of Nobel Prize winners in some countries. Does eating chocolate boost Nobel wins? No. This correlation likely exists because chocolate consumption serves as a proxy for wealth. In turn, wealth relates to education and research funding — key factors behind Nobel achievements. So, just finding a link isn’t enough. Scientists need more strong evidence to establish causation. Unlike highly controlled chemistry or physics experiments, which can easily show how X affects Y, human biology often relies on indirect evidence. It requires “inductive reasoning” —drawing general conclusions from available evidence. It’s like how a prosecutor (检察官) builds a criminal case using circumstantial evidence. While individual pieces might not be persuasive, their build-up strengthens the case. There’s one interesting contrast, however. . In criminal cases, the standard of proof is “beyond reasonable doubt”, but science demands proof based “on the balance of probabilities”. This reflects scientists’ willingness to revise their beliefs when better evidence emerges. Indirect evidence is crucial for inferring causation, but it is not always conclusive. The gold standard for direct evidence of causation is the randomised controlled trial (RCT), where participants are randomly assigned to either receive an intervention or to be a “control”. This ensures if you see a difference between the two groups, this can only be due to the effect of the intervention, which effectively proves causation. Unfortunately, ethical (道德的) considerations often prevent us conducting RCTs. For instance, we lack RCT evidence that smoking causes lung cancer because the indirect evidence is so strong that such studies would be unethical. Causation in health doesn’t work in a simple way. Factors like lifestyle, genes, and environment interact to determine disease risk. Achieving perfect health requires a variety of actions, as no single habit, superfood, or magic pill is the answer. 12. What does the underlined word “proxy” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Replacement. B. Condition. C. Indicator. D. Preference. 13. How do scientists’ inferences differ from prosecutors’ conclusions? A. They remain open to update. B. They guarantee absolute certainty. C. They rely largely on indirect evidence. D. They require higher standard of proof. 14. Why is RCT considered the gold standard for establishing causation? A. It offers wide application. B. It ensures fair assignment. C. It avoids ethical considerations. D. It identifies intervention effects. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for health improvement? A. Counting on good habits. B. Integrating multiple strategies. C. Taking a cure-all pill. D. Leading an active lifestyle. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讨论了健康研究中确定真正原因的重要性，以及研究人员如何超越相关性来寻找答案。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Correlations often exist without implying causation. For instance, chocolate consumption correlates with the number of Nobel Prize winners in some countries.(相关性常常存在，但并不意味着因果关系。例如，在一些国家，巧克力的消费量与诺贝尔奖获得者的数量有关)”以及后文“In turn, wealth relates to education and research funding — key factors behind Nobel achievements.(反过来，财富与教育和研究经费有关——这是诺贝尔奖成就背后的关键因素)”可知，讨论巧克力和诺贝尔奖的联系，所以前句应是“巧克力消费是财富的指标”之意，推知proxy意为“指标”和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“There’s one interesting contrast, however. In criminal cases, the standard of proof is “beyond reasonable doubt”, but science demands proof based “on the balance of probabilities”. This reflects scientists’ willingness to revise their beliefs when better evidence emerges.(然而，有一个有趣的对比。在刑事案件中，证明标准是“排除合理怀疑”，但科学要求证明基于“可能性平衡”。这反映了科学家在出现更好的证据时愿意修正自己的观点。)”可知，科学家的推断与检察官的结论不同之处在于，科学家愿意在出现更好的证据时修正自己的观点，即他们的推断是开放的、可以更新的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The gold standard for direct evidence of causation is the randomised controlled trial (RCT), where participants are randomly assigned to either receive an intervention or to be a “control”. This ensures if you see a difference between the two groups, this can only be due to the effect of the intervention, which effectively proves causation.（因果关系直接证据的金标准是随机对照试验(RCT)，参与者被随机分配到接受干预组或“对照组”。这就确保了如果你看到两组之间的差异，这只能是由于干预的效果，从而有效地证明了因果关系。）''可知，RCT被认为是确定因果关系的金标准是因为它确定了干预措施的效果，从而有效地证明了因果关系。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Causation in health doesn’t work in a simple way. Factors like lifestyle, genes, and environment interact to determine disease risk. Achieving perfect health requires a variety of actions, as no single habit, superfood, or magic pill is the answer.(健康的因果关系并不简单。生活方式、基因和环境等因素相互作用决定疾病风险。达到完美的健康需要各种各样的行动，因为没有单一的习惯，超级食物或神奇药丸是答案。)”可知，作者建议要整合多种策略来改善健康。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. ____16____ Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences. ____17____ The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used. Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used. ____18____Some ingredients – like carrots, onions and tomatoes -are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, while you can find some. Western cuisines that use strange meats like pig ears most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, uses a wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, snake, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat. ____19____ Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent (同等物) in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention. Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily. ____20____ A. The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s. B. Westernized Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines. C. There are so many regions of China, and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently. D. So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America. E. Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all. F. Deep frying food is quick, which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes. G. One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了西化的中国菜和传统中国菜的不同之处。 【16题详解】 空后“Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants.(当时，许多中国移民在美国找工作都遇到了困难。为了谋生，他们中的一些人开了餐馆。)”提到了在过去的一个时间许多中国移民为了谋生就开了餐馆，因此空格处说到一个过去的时间，A选项“The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s.(中国西化饮食的历史始于19世纪中期。)”提到了19世纪中期这个时间，和空后说那个时候中国移民开始开餐馆相互呼应，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 空后“The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying.(西餐厅里的中餐主要是油炸的。许多菜肴都是用不同的油炸方法烹饪的。然而，传统的中国食物很少通过油炸来烹饪。)”说明了西餐厅里的中餐和传统的中国食物的烹饪方法是不同的，G选项“One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods.(正宗中餐和西化中餐的主要区别之一在于烹饪方法。)”说明了正宗中餐和西化中餐的烹饪方法不同，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 空后“Some ingredients – like carrots, onions and tomatoes -are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking.(有些食材——比如胡萝卜、洋葱和西红柿——在正宗的中餐中是不常用的。)”说明的是中餐中所使用的是什么蔬菜，空格处也应该说蔬菜的选择，B选项“Westernized Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines.(西化的中餐以西餐中常见的蔬菜为特色。)”说明的是西化的中餐中蔬菜的选择，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 空后“Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent (同等物) in traditional Chinese cuisine.(例如，糖醋鸡在中国传统菜肴中是没有类似的。)”说明了有的西化的中餐在传统中餐中不存在，E选项“Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all.(许多在西方最受欢迎的中国菜根本不在中餐馆供应。)”说明了有的中国菜不在中餐馆供应，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 空前“Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily.(的确，正宗的中国菜和西化的中国菜有很多不同之处，但西方人的口味很容易适应新的口味。)”说明西方人很容易适应新口味，由此可推知，正宗的中国菜早晚会在外国受欢迎，D选项“So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America.(因此，正宗的中餐在美国流行起来可能只是时间问题。)”说明正宗的中餐在美国流行起来可能是早晚的事情，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year, my friend, Kydee Williams, and I started a non-profit project because we wanted to do charity work differently.

Not only did he have a loud voice, but Rigo liked to talk a lot.Whenever he had time, he would talk with his classmates, sharing everything he considered fun.He liked to yell and shout.Sometimes he just yelled, “Hey！” for no reason.He liked the sound of his very loud voice for he thought it had more penetrating (穿透的) power than that of an actor.But not everyone felt the same way. When Rigo shouted goodbye as he left for school, his mother shook her head, “Rigo! Be quiet！” When his father drove him to school, Rigo said, “Hey! There's Chris！” He pointed at his friend, who was walking to school.His father shook his head.“Rigo, use a quiet voice in the car.” At school, his teacher talked to him three times about using his quiet voice.His classmates shook their heads, throwing an upset look at him when he talked aloud. Later, Rigo had to sit by himself for a while.His teacher wanted him to practice being quiet.Rigo had to sit quietly for five minutes.It felt like five hours or five days.When the five minutes was up, Rigo went to his desk and sat quietly.It was not easy. After school, Rigo was waiting for his father when he saw Chris again “Hey！” he yelled.“Chris!

An extraordinary actor？” Rigo couldn't believe his ears.“Yes, you，” the headmaster said.“A good actor must be able to speak aloud on the stage to make himself heard by everyone of his audience.You can do that！” At that moment, Rigo saw his father.“By the way, a good actor knows he should use his quiet voice off the stage，” added the headmaster. He said goodbye to the headmaster and ran to get in his father's car cheerfully.“Dad, the headmaster said I was going to become an extraordinary actor！” he yelled proudly.The next second, he seemed to remember what the headmaster had told him, and lowered his voice, “Yes, I know when to speak at a loud voice.” His father was surprised at his change.Rigo then told him what happened just now and promised he would practice speaking quietly.Pleased, his father smiled, “Yes, you're to become an extraordinary actor, for yourself, and for the headmaster.” 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了瑞戈在学校总是大喊大叫，老师让他练习安静，但他收效甚微。一次他大叫被校长听见，校长发现瑞戈有演员的天赋，至此之后瑞戈开始知道什么时候该大声说话，什么时候该安静地讲话的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“校长停下来看着瑞戈。”可知，第一段可描写校长发现瑞戈演员的天赋。 ②由第二段首句内容“他向校长道了别，高高兴兴地跑进他父亲的车里。”可知，第二段可描写瑞戈收到校长的鼓励后开始学会控制自己的嗓音。 2.续写线索：惊喜——难以置信——兴奋——鼓励——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：yell/shout at ②压低：lowered/bring down/depress 情绪类 ①.感谢：thank for/show one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②.不安地： uneasily/restlessly 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Whether you tackle several volcanoes on a single trip or take them on one by one, these four volcanoes in Central America are ready for adventurers to explore. The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador The Santa Ana Volcano, also known as Ilamatepec, is the highest volcano in El Salvador. Standing at 7812ft above sea level, it’s the third-highest point in the country. Santa Ana’s crater is one of the largest in the world. Guided tours are mandatory for a popular four-hour hike to the summit that offers stunning views of Lake Coatepeque and the Pacific Ocean. Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica Situated in a 54 sq mile national park, the expansive Volcán Rincón de la Vieja, which translates to “old lady’s nook”, is an hour and a half from the town of Liberia. Eruptions in 2021 have closed off hikes to the 6217ft summit. There are shorter hiking loops around the park and to other peaks in the region, such as Volcán Santa Maria, which measures 6286ft. Barú Volcano in Panama Located in the Chiriqui Highlands, the dormant (休眠的) volcano and its seven craters are a birdwatching paradise. About 250 species of birds call Parque Nacional Volcán Barú home, including the elusive quetzal. The hike takes 10 to 12 hours. A popular option for experienced hikers is to start a guided ascent at night so that you arrive at dawn and enjoy stunning views at sunrise. The dry season(February to April)is the best time to go. Cerro Negro in Nicaragua Just 160 years old, Cerro Negro is the youngest volcano in Central America. Reaching heights of 2388ft, the Nicaraguan volcano located just outside of Leon is one of the most active in the region. But that hasn’t stopped a growing subset of people from hopping on specially designed boards and speeding down the black gravel slopes. Volcano surfing(or volcano surfing)is exactly what it sounds like, trading out the water for rocks and ocean spray for plumes of ash. It’s a perfect combination of pure joy and what most parents would call complete stupidity. Several agencies in the area offer tours to hike and surf the volcano. 1. Which activity is unique in Barú Volcano? A. Surfing. B. Birdwatching. C. Hiking. D. Swimming. 2. Which place is recommended for racing down slopes? A. Barú Volcano in Panama B. Cerro Negro in Nicaragua C. The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador D. Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica 3. What do the four volcanoes in Central America have in common? A. They offer the stunning sunset. B. They are situated in national parks. C. They are suitable for hikers. D. They are full of pure joy. B In the flood of innovative solutions that have emerged in the last several years to save the world from plastic pollution, Tom Szaky’s solution may be one of the most audacious (大胆的). Szaky has presented a concept that dates to the turn of the last century-returnable, refillable containers. The idea was introduced to the world by Coca-Cola in the early 1920s, when coke was sold in expensive glass bottles that the company needed to be returned. They charged a two-cent deposit (押金), roughly 40 percent of the full cost of the soft drink, and got about 98 percent of their bottles back to be reused 40 to 50 times. Bottle deposit programs remain one of the most successful methods ever invented for recovering packaging. Szaky launched Loop, an online delivery service that uses serviceable, reusable containers. The bold part of his venture-or risk, if you are one of his financial backers-is that Loop pushes far beyond the common returnable beverage bottles and sells more than 300 items, from food to laundry liquid, in containers of various sizes and made from various materials. His signature product is Häagen- Dazs ice cream that is packed inside a smooth, heat-barrier stainless steel bucket guaranteed to prevent its contents from melting. Slightly messy in jeans and a coat, Szaky looks every bit the common entrepreneur. He dropped out of Princeton University 17 years ago to become an innovator in the garbage business. Then, he founded TerraCycle, a company near his college. He figured out a way to recycle cigarette ends, and a long list of other non-recyclable things. Then, he became more interested in restoring the circularity of that earlier era and eliminating the disposability from packaging altogether. Loop is part of the recovery of refillable things as a serious option for plastic waste. The beverage industry is expanding its use of returnable bottles; an Oregon brewery claims to have started the United States’ first state-wide refillable beer system. More significantly, efforts like Loop’s to reinvent packaging for products that don’t fit easily into the refillable category have attracted startups and some of the world’s largest corporate players. 4. How is the Coca-Cola’s bottle deposit program? A. It’s costly. B. It’s effective. C. It is a complex process. D. It remains questionable to many people. 5. What can we know about Loop launched by Szaky? A. It struggles to get financial support. B. It covers a wider range of businesses. C. It mainly gains profits from Häagen-Dazs ice cream. D. It was the first to propose using steel containers to store beverages. 6. Which of the following can best describe Szaky? A. Creative and ambitious. B. Self-disciplined and outgoing. C. Hardworking and careful. D. Responsible and kind-hearted. 7. What’s the purpose of Szaky’s founding TerraCycle ? A. To make good use of the waste. B. To cover his college fees. C. To cooperate with more corporate players. D. To expand his influence in his college. C Teachers are one of the professions least at risk of being automated. A job that requires emotional intelligence and flexibility — in adapting lesson plans on the fly to a particular group of children, for example — is not one particularly well-suited to robots. Artificial intelligence (AI), however, still deserves a role in the classroom. This is not as a replacement for teachers, but as a tool or an assistant that can aid them both in trying to close the gap in achievement between the rich and the poor and in making up for lost teaching time, for instance. The principle of machine learning is to enhance humans’ existing capacities. The best AI apps promise to improve teachers’ knowledge of what their students need, how best they deliver the teaching, and which students require the most help — from a human teacher — to keep up with their learning. Besides, poor and unequal schooling, leaving too many children behind, is one of the deepest roots of inequality and low productivity. If AI can help target existing teaching resources better, the benefits could be incalculable. Therefore, smart policy is urgent. There must be a focus on the teaching philosophy behind the programs, as well as ensuring that any decisions made by machine learning are under human control. In education, choices made by AI could set a direction for the rest of a child’s life. These may be common concerns about AI, but education is particularly sensitive — especially the ownership and control of any data generated through the platforms. Schools, too, will need to prevent teachers, who already have plenty of responsibilities, from also having to keep up to date with thousands of apps. AI belongs in the classroom only so long as it enhances the humankind. 8. What role should AI play in the classroom? A. An assistant to help teachers. B. An aid to punish students. C. A machine to replace teachers. D. A tool to protect students. 9. Which is the benefit of using AI apps in teaching? A. It tells which teacher needs the most help. B. It instructs teachers how to deliver speeches. C. It provides ways for teachers to make money. D. It helps balance the existing teaching resources. 10. What matters most in AI teaching? A. Improving the humankind. B. Setting a direction for education. C. Preventing teachers from using apps. D. Producing data through online platforms. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Popularity of E-Teaching Apps B. The Application and Flexibility of AI C. Rules for Bringing AI into the Classroom D. Approaches to Enhancing Teaching Online D In health research, determining true causes — like whether drinking wine affects health — is vital for informed decisions. But “correlation does not equal causation (因果关系)” is widely recognized. Then how do researchers move beyond correlations to find answers? Correlations often exist without implying causation. For instance, chocolate consumption correlates with the number of Nobel Prize winners in some countries. Does eating chocolate boost Nobel wins? No. This correlation likely exists because chocolate consumption serves as a proxy for wealth. In turn, wealth relates to education and research funding — key factors behind Nobel achievements. So, just finding a link isn’t enough. Scientists need more strong evidence to establish causation. Unlike highly controlled chemistry or physics experiments, which can easily show how X affects Y, human biology often relies on indirect evidence. It requires “inductive reasoning” —drawing general conclusions from available evidence. It’s like how a prosecutor (检察官) builds a criminal case using circumstantial evidence. While individual pieces might not be persuasive, their build-up strengthens the case. There’s one interesting contrast, however. . In criminal cases, the standard of proof is “beyond reasonable doubt”, but science demands proof based “on the balance of probabilities”. This reflects scientists’ willingness to revise their beliefs when better evidence emerges. Indirect evidence is crucial for inferring causation, but it is not always conclusive. The gold standard for direct evidence of causation is the randomised controlled trial (RCT), where participants are randomly assigned to either receive an intervention or to be a “control”. This ensures if you see a difference between the two groups, this can only be due to the effect of the intervention, which effectively proves causation. Unfortunately, ethical (道德的) considerations often prevent us conducting RCTs. For instance, we lack RCT evidence that smoking causes lung cancer because the indirect evidence is so strong that such studies would be unethical. Causation in health doesn’t work in a simple way.
